Hillary Clinton has already proven she’s a Hamilton fan, and Hamilton keeps on returning the favor. Departed cast members Lin-Manuel Miranda and Renée Elise Goldsberry performed a Hamilton rewrite to support the candidate at Broadway for Hillary on Monday night, tweaking the lyrics of “Ten Duel Commandments” in support of the Democratic nominee.
The parody offers up 10 things you need to do to prepare in the three weeks before election day, such as, “Call some undecideds in your crew/ Your cousins in Ohio maybe try and flip ‘em blue” and “Roll up to your polling place, vote up in your home state/ It’s down to the nitty-gritty/ Three weeks to go, are you ready New York City?” This being a pro-Clinton fundraiser, there was also quite a bit of praise for the candidate and her running mate, who got (arguably) the best rhyme of the night:
“Watch Hillary examine the terrain
Watch her campaign with the man Tim Kaine
Tim Kaine in the membrane
Tim Kaine in the brain.”
The fundraiser also featured appearances by numerous other members of the Broadway elite, including Bernadette Peters, Alan Cumming, Neil Patrick Harris, Cynthia Erivo, and Billy Crystal.
